How I work
I start from outcomes, then break work into small, testable steps. I question assumptions, surface tradeoffs early, and make decisions explicit. I prefer simple, observable systems with logging, metrics, and rollbacks ready before launch. I write maintainable code to standards, document the why, and automate the repetitive parts. I communicate clearly, show progress often, and leave teams with tools and processes they can run without me.
A few things that I built recently
Community
I help manage the WordPress Türkiye community, organize and speak at WordPress Istanbul events, and mentor developers. Since 2005 I'm translating WordPress into Turkish, including core, plugins, and themes, and I continue to contribute in other areas of the ecosystem. I coordinate translation days and local meetups, keep community channels active, and promote practical, accessible, performance minded practices.
